Mcat amino acids Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Glycine Glycine is the most simple amino acid - its best to just memorize that this important amino acid has a functional group that only contains a hydrogen! Alanine Alanine has a really simple functional group (just a simple methyl group) that some of the other AA functional groups build on. You can remember the name because the alphabet builds on the letter A and other functional groups build on the simple Alanine R group. What about the other A amino acids? well Alanine has the shor...

MCAT Biochemistry Review Amino Acid - correct answer Dipolar compound containing an amino group and a carboxyl group Amino Group - correct answer -NH2 Carboxyl Group - correct answer -COOH Alpha Carbon - correct answer Central carbon atom in amino acid Attached to amino & carboxyl groups, H atom, and side chain Side Chain - correct answer The variable component of an amino acid that gives the amino acid its identity and chemical properties also called R-group Chiral - correct a...

MCAT Chem/PhysGenerally, how are proteins formed? The connecting of a string of amino acids via peptide bonds and the folding of this string to create a completed protein. The folding is determined primarily by the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic nature of the amino acids. Stabilized by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, and other intramolecular forces. Peptide (Amide) Bonds These are formed when the n-terminus of one amino acid attacks the carboxy terminus of another amino acid. Water is ...

MCAT supercritical fluid - correct answer any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist the lowest frequency corresponds to the highest/lowest period? - correct answer highest (pay attention to the question, dumb mistake) constructive interference vs destructive interference - correct answer constructive makes it bigger, amplifies. Destructive goes against, flattens the wave. Review R/S Stereochemistry - correct ...
